Serious affair.

--The Greensboro' (N. C.) Patriot understands that on Tuesday last quite a serious affair occurred near the house of Col. Coble, of the 67th regiment militia, in the southeast part of Guilford county. The particulars seem to be that a party of deserters were passing through the neighborhood, and the Colonel with a small force of his neighbors attempted to arrest them.--The deserters were armed, and regular firing ensued. Two of the deserters were killed, and three captured. The others made their escape. Col. Coble was slightly wounded.
